The first recorded newspaper was printed in 1888 by J.B. Hall ad, called The Texas Watchman. It was short-lived, and the next newspaper published was six years later in 1894. Thomas J. Stevens, assisted by William F. Bookman, published his paper, The Messenger. Stevens then sold the paper to a schoolteacher, W.W. Sharp, and the name was changed to the Madisonville Meteor.
